Hope today goes well. Great that the shed has been sorted. I can see your reluctance with a gardener but hopefully you could get a new one that’s amazing.September 2017 Debt = £25330

Thanks XX
We are leaving in 20 minutes. I am trying to hide my panic because I took a prescription with me to the high street but by the time I got there the chemist was shut and I do not remember what I did with it....
Just going to check something.
Amazing how typing that made me remember that I put it in my make up bag! I will ask at the hospital if they can fill it.
I had such a nice day yesterday. Today is so different. Mum is so miserable about going out, she doesn't seem to realise she is lucky to have treatment. Or is that a bit holier than thou of me? I can't decide.

After initial rain it’s definitely hotter here today than yesterday.
I hope it goes well at the hospital for your mum.
Well done on getting a bit more done. You need to pencil outings with friends in on a regular basis. It certainly lifts you 👍January spends - £587.581 -
Back from the hospital, yet again the doctors were amazing and are really trying hard to control her pain. Mum is very tired and in a lot of pain. She is super hard work in that state - which I get and I try to be understanding but I am such a stress head when she is like this. I can't drive too fast, I must remember the speed limit, avoid pigeons and cats and constantly be careful. She was then bordering on rude to the hospital people.
So tired.
Will write more later, need a little nap firstNevertheless she persisted.4 -
Today was the funeral, they always make you think.
It was a good service if you see what I mean.
Then I came home to Mum who hadn't eaten, not did she want anything to eat. She was quite sad. I am not sure how long I can take this. Every time I go out she won't eat. or rather doesn't eat.
Again am tired but I guess it is 10.50 and it has been a heck of a day. XXNevertheless she persisted.2 -
I’m pleased the funeral went as good as a funeral can go.
Theres no easy answer about your mum. Would she take some sort of tonic or vitamin supplement…..I’m guessing if she would you’d have already tried.January spends - £587.581 -
As your mum’s illness is unfortunately continuing longer than hoped, is it time to ask for help with caring? I know she doesn’t want that but you may need to make the decision for her.1
